Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.
For more information, contact: 24524002 / [email protected], or visit www.athienoumuseum.org.cy, / Facebook page: Kallinikeio Museum.

Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

The INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL has established itself as one of the most innovative and cutting-edge annual music events in the Eastern Mediterranean. Under the artistic direction of the internationally renowned Cypriot composer, Evis Sammoutis, the Festival is dedicated to the promotion of new music: The well-established masterpieces of the contemporary music literature of the 20th century as well as new works by the younger generation of composers. The Festival has so far presented hundreds of Cyprus premieres as well as a great number of world premieres by composers who have been especially commissioned by the Foundation to write new pieces for the occasion. Providing a platform for composers and performers to advance and develop new projects and explore new sound worlds in chamber music settings, the Festival aspires to acquaint the general audience of Cyprus with the music of our times as this is directly linked with many forms of visual and creative arts, and sciences, and it reflects the profundity of the modern-day man and human spirit.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL:
Organised between 5 and 16 October 2016 at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, the 8TH INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL will feature four unique concerts, as well as a number of other interesting events such as documentary screenings, lectures and educational workshops.
This year’s Festival draws attention to contemporary masterpieces in which human voice takes the lead. Over a decade since the Pharos Arts Foundation presented the Cyprus premiere of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the London Sinfonietta, this iconic work, which has changed the history of vocal music forever and which has never been performed in Cyprus ever since, will be heard again: this time by the legendary vocalist Marianne Pousseur who will join forces with the exceptional ensemble Het Collectief under the direction of German conductor Robin Engelen.
The Festival will also present the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, written in 1987, Kafka Fragments, which is based on Kafka’s texts taken from his notebooks, diaries, and letters. The work will be performed by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.
Another key work in this year’s Festival, reflecting a more ground-breaking approach to vocal writing is Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos, for soprano and double-bass, which was written in 2006 and was premiered by the very same artist who will give its Cyprus premiere as part of the Festival – the exciting double-bassist Uli Fussenegger of Klangforum Wien who will join forces with the sensational French soprano Hélène Fauchère.
Also focused on the linkage between old and new music so that the listener can be familiarized with the historical cohesion of music evolution, comprehend the various procedures and thoroughly enjoy the end result, the Festival will conclude with a recital by pianist Joseph Houston, one of the most sought-after rising stars on the international contemporary music scene, in an all embracing programme, ranging from Scarlatti and Liszt, all the way through to Messiaen, Ives and Xenakis, and the Cyprus premieres of works by Thomas Simaku and Christian Mason.

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

Following her performance in Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire on Wednesday 5 October, 20:30, at The Shoe Factory, Nicosia, as part of the 8th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival, the iconic contemporary singer Marianne Pousseur will give a lecture on the vocal techniques developed and used in new music. The Lecture will be followed by a workshop with the participation of young professional Cypriot singers.MARIANNE POUSSEUR
One of the most iconic and celebrated performers of contemporary music, Marianne Pousseur appears frequently with ensembles such as the Schoenberg Ensemble (direction Reinbert de Leeuw), Remix Porto, Die Reihe Vienna, and she has appeared numerous times with the Ensemble InterContemporain, particularly under the direction of Pierre Boulez. The stage version of Pierrot Lunaire by Arnold Schoenberg, with Ensemble Musique Oblique conducted by Philippe Herreweghe, has been released on film as well as a CD for the label Harmonia Mundi France. Her immense theatrical experience has allowed Marianne to be the actress reciting in symphonic works such as Psyche by César Franck and Peer Gynt by Grieg, conducted by Kurt Masur with the Orchestra National de France and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as Sciarrino’s Lohengrin the recording of which won the 2009 MIDEM Classical Awards in Cannes. For her, in 2004, George Aperghis composed Dark Side for mezzo-soprano and ensemble, created in Athens with the Ensemble InterContemporain. Subsequently, in 2008, they collaborated again on Yannis Ritsos’ poem Ismene which was set into an opera for solo voice. The performance won the 2009 Belgian critics Award and it has since been performed in several international festivals. Marianne’s artistic research on Yannis Ritsos, led her to compose and perform the music theatre Phedre, based on Ritsos’ poem, and the triptych was completed in 2015 with Ajax.

Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art Cyprus Cyprus

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

In this dramatic courtroom thriller, LT Daniel Kaffee, a Navy lawyer who has never seen the inside of the courtroom, defends two stubborn Marines who have been accused of murdering a colleague. Kaffee is known as being lazy and had arranged for a plea bargain. Downey's Aunt Ginny appoints Cmdr. Galloway to represent him. Also on the legal staff is LTJG Sam Weinberg. The team rounds up many facts and Kaffee is discovering that he is really cut out for trial work. The defense is originally based upon the fact that PFC Santiago, the victim, was given a "CODE RED".

Daniele Dori (Italy), pipe organ
Laranca, Church of Our Lady of the Graces
Saturday, October 8 at 7.30 p.m. – Admission free
Daniele Dori (Italy), pipe organ
For the second consecutive year, the Terra Sancta Organ Festival, the pipe organ festival in the Middle East and the Levant, comes to the island of Cyprus. Saturday, October 8 at 19:30 in the Church of Our Lady of Graces in Larnaca (Terra Santa street), the organist of the Cathedral of Florence Daniele Dori will perform a recital with a program of Italian music for organ from 1600 to the present day. This concert is organized in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Nicosia. Admission is free.
The pipe organ installed in the Church of St. Mary of Graces in Larnaca is probably the only existing pipe organ on the island. Built in Jerusalem in 1989 by the Franciscan organ builder Delfin Taboada, the restoration was made possible thanks to the work of the world famous Italian organ builder Saverio Anselmi Tamburini of Crema (Italy) and to the contribution of the Embassy of Italy in Nicosia.
The concert is organized by the Custody of the Holy Land. In Cyprus, the Custody of the Holy Land (Latin Catholic Church of Cyprus) has been active for eight centuries. Today, the Franciscan friars are based in Nicosia (Holy Cross), in Larnaca (Our Lady of Graces) and in Limassol (St. Catherine): in these locations they run their charitable, pastoral and educational activities (Terra Santa College).
The concert is part of the musical program of the Terra Sancta Organ Festival (please visit www.tsorganfestival.org). Besides Cyprus, the other locations of the festival are: Greece (Rhodes), Jordan, Israel, East Jerusalem, Palestine, Egypt, Lebanon and Syria, in other words the places where the Custody of the Holy Land is present with its Franciscan friars. The Terra Sancta Organ Festival wants to give to everyone a chance to listen to the sound of the organ, that otherwise would be heard only during the liturgical celebrations at some churches.

The INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL has established itself as one of the most innovative and cutting-edge annual music events in the Eastern Mediterranean. Under the artistic direction of the internationally renowned Cypriot composer, Evis Sammoutis, the Festival is dedicated to the promotion of new music: The well-established masterpieces of the contemporary music literature of the 20th century as well as new works by the younger generation of composers. The Festival has so far presented hundreds of Cyprus premieres as well as a great number of world premieres by composers who have been especially commissioned by the Foundation to write new pieces for the occasion. Providing a platform for composers and performers to advance and develop new projects and explore new sound worlds in chamber music settings, the Festival aspires to acquaint the general audience of Cyprus with the music of our times as this is directly linked with many forms of visual and creative arts, and sciences, and it reflects the profundity of the modern-day man and human spirit.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL:
Organised between 5 and 16 October 2016 at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, the 8TH INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL will feature four unique concerts, as well as a number of other interesting events such as documentary screenings, lectures and educational workshops.
This year’s Festival draws attention to contemporary masterpieces in which human voice takes the lead. Over a decade since the Pharos Arts Foundation presented the Cyprus premiere of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the London Sinfonietta, this iconic work, which has changed the history of vocal music forever and which has never been performed in Cyprus ever since, will be heard again: this time by the legendary vocalist Marianne Pousseur who will join forces with the exceptional ensemble Het Collectief under the direction of German conductor Robin Engelen.
The Festival will also present the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, written in 1987, Kafka Fragments, which is based on Kafka’s texts taken from his notebooks, diaries, and letters. The work will be performed by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.
Another key work in this year’s Festival, reflecting a more ground-breaking approach to vocal writing is Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos, for soprano and double-bass, which was written in 2006 and was premiered by the very same artist who will give its Cyprus premiere as part of the Festival – the exciting double-bassist Uli Fussenegger of Klangforum Wien who will join forces with the sensational French soprano Hélène Fauchère.
Also focused on the linkage between old and new music so that the listener can be familiarized with the historical cohesion of music evolution, comprehend the various procedures and thoroughly enjoy the end result, the Festival will conclude with a recital by pianist Joseph Houston, one of the most sought-after rising stars on the international contemporary music scene, in an all embracing programme, ranging from Scarlatti and Liszt, all the way through to Messiaen, Ives and Xenakis, and the Cyprus premieres of works by Thomas Simaku and Christian Mason.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL:
Organised between 5 and 16 October 2016 at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, the 8TH INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL will feature four unique concerts, as well as a number of other interesting events such as documentary screenings, lectures and educational workshops.
This year’s Festival draws attention to contemporary masterpieces in which human voice takes the lead. Over a decade since the Pharos Arts Foundation presented the Cyprus premiere of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the London Sinfonietta, this iconic work, which has changed the history of vocal music forever and which has never been performed in Cyprus ever since, will be heard again: this time by the legendary vocalist Marianne Pousseur who will join forces with the exceptional ensemble Het Collectief under the direction of German conductor Robin Engelen.
The Festival will also present the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, written in 1987, Kafka Fragments, which is based on Kafka’s texts taken from his notebooks, diaries, and letters. The work will be performed by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.
Another key work in this year’s Festival, reflecting a more ground-breaking approach to vocal writing is Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos, for soprano and double-bass, which was written in 2006 and was premiered by the very same artist who will give its Cyprus premiere as part of the Festival – the exciting double-bassist Uli Fussenegger of Klangforum Wien who will join forces with the sensational French soprano Hélène Fauchère.
Also focused on the linkage between old and new music so that the listener can be familiarized with the historical cohesion of music evolution, comprehend the various procedures and thoroughly enjoy the end result, the Festival will conclude with a recital by pianist Joseph Houston, one of the most sought-after rising stars on the international contemporary music scene, in an all embracing programme, ranging from Scarlatti and Liszt, all the way through to Messiaen, Ives and Xenakis, and the Cyprus premieres of works by Thomas Simaku and Christian Mason.

PRE-CONCERT TALKAndreas Tsiartas: Memory and Oblivion –
Psychological and Musical aspects on Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos I
SUNDAY 9 OCTOBER 2016 / 7:30PM
THE SHOE FACTORY, NICOSIA
A pre-concert talk by composer Andreas Tsiartas about Beat Furrer’s controversial masterpiece for soprano and double-bass, Lotófagos I, which will be performed immediately after the lecture, at 20:30, by soprano Hélène Fauchère and double-bassist Uli Fussenegger.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE TALK:
Lotófagos I for Soprano and double-bass (2006), which is based on José Ángel Valente’s poem describing Homeric Ulysses’ companions and their adventure on the island of the Lotus eaters, is musically approached by the composer of the piece, Beat Furrer, in a very particular manner.
Furrer’s works pursue a process of deconstruction, of Oblivion. In the composer’s sphere of imagination there is a space, where memory, social or cultural, ceases to exist and what follows is a state of amnesia. This specific observation comprises various deeply-rooted psychological aspects, which Furrer has already treated thematically on a macrocosmic level: the deconstruction of memory corresponds to the deconstruction of identities. In this case, the identity comes up to a social phenomenon, of which the deconstruction opens the path towards discovering our own self, a confrontation with our true essence, our primeval image, our genuine depiction. According to Furrer’s comments about Lotófagos I, it is all about a lateral apposition of sounds. The phenomenon of Memory and Oblivion, as seen through Ulysses’ companions, is being represented as the remembrance of specific sounds through their apparently random repetition or even gradual disappearance within the margins of the work’s overall form. The organic development of his sound material is being disordered and re-shaped to such an extent that it assimilates to a new space of memory: an anagram of a person’s remembrances while he/she is at a state of oblivion, or even a person who constantly educes his/her memories within new spaces.
The lecture is based on Andreas Tsiartas’ final dissertation for the Hochschule für Musik "Carl Maria von Weber" in Dresden, as well as his notes during the summer seminar in 2009 with Beat Furrer at the Hoschule für Musik und Theater in Rostock, Germany and from lectures and interviews held during the Spring Meeting in Darmstadt in April 2009. The lecture will be given in English.
ANDREAS TSIARTAS
Andreas Tsiartas graduated with distinction (Diplom Komponist) from the Hochschule für Musik "Carl Maria von Weber" in Dresden, Germany, in 2010, where he studied composition with Manos Tsangaris and Jörg Herchet and electronic music with Franz Martin Olbrisch and Michael Flade. His works have been performed and commissioned by such renowned ensembles and soloists as the Dresdner Philharmonie, the Studio for New Music Ensemble Moscow, Musiques Nouvelles, Ensemble Courage, Rohan de Saram, having received their premieres in renowned venues such as the BKA Theater in Berlin, the Kulturpalast in Dresden and the ZKM in Karlsruhe.

CONCERTUli Fussenegger (double-bass) & Hélène Fauchère (soprano) in the Cyprus premiere of Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos I
SUNDAY 9 OCTOBER 2016 / 8:30PM
THE SHOE FACTORY, NICOSIA
The second concert of the 8th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival, will feature Beat Furrer’s psychological masterpiece Lotófagos I, for soprano and double-bass, which was written in 2006 and was premiered by the very same artist who will give its Cyprus premiere on Sunday 9 October 2016, 20:30, at The Shoe Factory – the exciting double-bassist Uli Fussenegger of Klangforum Wien who will join forces with the exceptional French soprano Hélène Fauchère. The concert will also include works by Henry Purcell, Klaus Huber, Vito Juraj and Evis Sammoutis.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PROGRAMME:
Lotófagos, or “Lotus eaters,” takes its text from a prose-poem by the Spanish poet José Ángel Valente. Its title refers to the mythological island of lotus eaters. When Odysseus’s men landed there, they ate the lotus plant and forgot about their home, wanting only to stay on the island. Valente’s text expands on this theme of forgetfulness, only at the end invoking its opposite, memory, with the question, “A mild yet warm wind comes from the south. Is this memory?” Furrer’s setting opens with the soprano and bass singing in identical registers, blurring the distinction between instrument and voice, and the first word emerges only slowly, as though the protagonists are struggling even to remember how to speak. This sense of a struggle to speak pervades much of the piece reflects the composer’s sphere of imagination where memory, and its many psychological aspects, ceases to exist and what follows is a state of amnesia.

Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art Cyprus Cyprus

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

The INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL has established itself as one of the most innovative and cutting-edge annual music events in the Eastern Mediterranean. Under the artistic direction of the internationally renowned Cypriot composer, Evis Sammoutis, the Festival is dedicated to the promotion of new music: The well-established masterpieces of the contemporary music literature of the 20th century as well as new works by the younger generation of composers. The Festival has so far presented hundreds of Cyprus premieres as well as a great number of world premieres by composers who have been especially commissioned by the Foundation to write new pieces for the occasion. Providing a platform for composers and performers to advance and develop new projects and explore new sound worlds in chamber music settings, the Festival aspires to acquaint the general audience of Cyprus with the music of our times as this is directly linked with many forms of visual and creative arts, and sciences, and it reflects the profundity of the modern-day man and human spirit.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL:
Organised between 5 and 16 October 2016 at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, the 8TH INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL will feature four unique concerts, as well as a number of other interesting events such as documentary screenings, lectures and educational workshops.
This year’s Festival draws attention to contemporary masterpieces in which human voice takes the lead. Over a decade since the Pharos Arts Foundation presented the Cyprus premiere of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the London Sinfonietta, this iconic work, which has changed the history of vocal music forever and which has never been performed in Cyprus ever since, will be heard again: this time by the legendary vocalist Marianne Pousseur who will join forces with the exceptional ensemble Het Collectief under the direction of German conductor Robin Engelen.
The Festival will also present the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, written in 1987, Kafka Fragments, which is based on Kafka’s texts taken from his notebooks, diaries, and letters. The work will be performed by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.
Another key work in this year’s Festival, reflecting a more ground-breaking approach to vocal writing is Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos, for soprano and double-bass, which was written in 2006 and was premiered by the very same artist who will give its Cyprus premiere as part of the Festival – the exciting double-bassist Uli Fussenegger of Klangforum Wien who will join forces with the sensational French soprano Hélène Fauchère.
Also focused on the linkage between old and new music so that the listener can be familiarized with the historical cohesion of music evolution, comprehend the various procedures and thoroughly enjoy the end result, the Festival will conclude with a recital by pianist Joseph Houston, one of the most sought-after rising stars on the international contemporary music scene, in an all embracing programme, ranging from Scarlatti and Liszt, all the way through to Messiaen, Ives and Xenakis, and the Cyprus premieres of works by Thomas Simaku and Christian Mason.

As part of the 8th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival and the Cyprus premiere of György Kurtág’s masterpiece, Kafka Fragments, there will be a screening of The Matchstick Man – an atmospheric profile affording a perceptive and illuminating glimpse into Kurtág’s world.
A very private man who usually shies away from discussing himself and his work, Kurtág communicates his all-consuming passion for music and deep involvement in the world of sound to director Judit Kele. He is seen teaching and working with musicians – including his wife Marta, Adrienne Csengery or Claudio Abbado conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Other contributors to the programme include the pianist Zoltan Kocsis, composers György Ligeti, Andras Szöllösy, Laszlo Vidovsky and Zoltan Jeney, as well as students of Kurtág.
The film will be followed the next day (12 October 2016, 20:30) with the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s masterpiece Kafka Fragments, performed by mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

A concert with one of the many waltzes by Chopin, as well as his Piano concerto no.2, the first one he wrote, in 1830 which abounds with sensual ornamentation, bewitching harmonies, and unmistakable references to Polish folk music.As for Shchedrin’s Carmen suite, this came into existence in a rather roundabout fashion, after the composer was asked for a new ballet featuring Prosper Mérimée’s fiery heroine. Shchedrin however found it impossible to think of the story without Bizet's famous tunes going through his head, so in the end he decided to exploit the original opera, describing the process as "a creative meeting of minds". But this was the Soviet Union in the late 60's, and after the first performance it was banned by the authorities as "insulting to Bizet's masterpiece". It took Shostakovich's intervention to get the ballet back on the approved list, and it's since become Shchedrin's best-known work.

Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

The INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL has established itself as one of the most innovative and cutting-edge annual music events in the Eastern Mediterranean. Under the artistic direction of the internationally renowned Cypriot composer, Evis Sammoutis, the Festival is dedicated to the promotion of new music: The well-established masterpieces of the contemporary music literature of the 20th century as well as new works by the younger generation of composers. The Festival has so far presented hundreds of Cyprus premieres as well as a great number of world premieres by composers who have been especially commissioned by the Foundation to write new pieces for the occasion. Providing a platform for composers and performers to advance and develop new projects and explore new sound worlds in chamber music settings, the Festival aspires to acquaint the general audience of Cyprus with the music of our times as this is directly linked with many forms of visual and creative arts, and sciences, and it reflects the profundity of the modern-day man and human spirit.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL:
Organised between 5 and 16 October 2016 at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, the 8TH INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL will feature four unique concerts, as well as a number of other interesting events such as documentary screenings, lectures and educational workshops.
This year’s Festival draws attention to contemporary masterpieces in which human voice takes the lead. Over a decade since the Pharos Arts Foundation presented the Cyprus premiere of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the London Sinfonietta, this iconic work, which has changed the history of vocal music forever and which has never been performed in Cyprus ever since, will be heard again: this time by the legendary vocalist Marianne Pousseur who will join forces with the exceptional ensemble Het Collectief under the direction of German conductor Robin Engelen.
The Festival will also present the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, written in 1987, Kafka Fragments, which is based on Kafka’s texts taken from his notebooks, diaries, and letters. The work will be performed by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.
Another key work in this year’s Festival, reflecting a more ground-breaking approach to vocal writing is Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos, for soprano and double-bass, which was written in 2006 and was premiered by the very same artist who will give its Cyprus premiere as part of the Festival – the exciting double-bassist Uli Fussenegger of Klangforum Wien who will join forces with the sensational French soprano Hélène Fauchère.
Also focused on the linkage between old and new music so that the listener can be familiarized with the historical cohesion of music evolution, comprehend the various procedures and thoroughly enjoy the end result, the Festival will conclude with a recital by pianist Joseph Houston, one of the most sought-after rising stars on the international contemporary music scene, in an all embracing programme, ranging from Scarlatti and Liszt, all the way through to Messiaen, Ives and Xenakis, and the Cyprus premieres of works by Thomas Simaku and Christian Mason.

CONCERTCyprus premiere of György Kurtág’s masterpiece Kafka Fragments by mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg & violinist Aisha Orazbayeva
WEDNESDAY 12 OCTOBER 2016 / 8:30PM
THE SHOE FACTORY, NICOSIA
The 8th International Pharos Contemporary Music Festival will continue on 12 October 2016, 20:30 at The Shoe Factory, with a concert featuring the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, written in 1987, Kafka Fragments. The work is based on Kafka’s texts taken from his notebooks, diaries, and letters, and will be performed by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE WORK:
It was during his brief exile in Paris that György Kurtág became truly fascinated with the writings of Kafka, especially his Metamorphosis. At the same time, he was familiarized with the contemporary music scene of the West, and studied with Messiaen and Milhaud. In the following years, the composer assembled random fragments of Kafka’s writings – not excerpts from the published works but fragmented texts from his notebooks, diaries, and letters, which we would eventually use as the basis of the forty pieces that constitute his monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, Kafka Fragments. This introvertly theatrical work might also be regarded as a personal diary of both Kafka and Kurtág, with the music and dramatic utterances of the vocalist and violinist complementing and accentuating Kafka’s texts and his inmost thoughts. Ranging from miniature parables to existential metaphors, these all-embracing texts are sometimes witty, sometimes soul-searching, yet always all-pervading into the human state of isolation, physical and emotional torment, life, love and creativity. Equally kaleidoscopic is Kurtág’s music, which is sometimes reserved and introspective and sometimes explosive and highly dramatic, and in which folk idioms blend imaginatively with Baroque and 19th century aesthetics as well as avant-garde and Expressionism.

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

A concert with one of the many waltzes by Chopin, as well as his Piano concerto no.2, the first one he wrote, in 1830 which abounds with sensual ornamentation, bewitching harmonies, and unmistakable references to Polish folk music.As for Shchedrin’s Carmen suite, this came into existence in a rather roundabout fashion, after the composer was asked for a new ballet featuring Prosper Mérimée’s fiery heroine. Shchedrin however found it impossible to think of the story without Bizet's famous tunes going through his head, so in the end he decided to exploit the original opera, describing the process as "a creative meeting of minds". But this was the Soviet Union in the late 60's, and after the first performance it was banned by the authorities as "insulting to Bizet's masterpiece". It took Shostakovich's intervention to get the ballet back on the approved list, and it's since become Shchedrin's best-known work.
FR. CHOPIN: Waltz no. 2, op. 64 from the ballet Les Sylphides (orch.: W. Mc Dermott)

Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

The team rounds up many facts and Kaffee is discovering that he is really cut out for trial work. The defense is originally based upon the fact that PFC Santiago, the victim, was given a "CODE RED".

A performance filled with wonder and imagination that deals with the multidimensional topic of ‘jealousy’. The play’s objective is to help children get rid of the negative feeling of jealousy. At the same time it reinforces their emotional world with principles and values such as love, giving and selflessness. This is the original story of an owl that goes for a walk in the forest because it cannot bear to share the love and attention of its parents, given to its little brother. This ‘walk’ will develop into a wonderful journey of self-awareness. …Of course this journey is paved with fun.The owl will meet the most cool characters- a granny, a girl, a fox, a cat and a scientist. All together they will help the owl get rid of every negative feeling. It is worth noting that the children will come into direct contact with many musical instruments, all at the same time.
The actor Andrei Krupa uses his unique musical knowledge and creates on stage the incredible ‘invention’ of the human orchestra! With this inspiration the play provides a unique experience and opportunity for the children to come into direct contact and in close proximity with live musical instruments.
Actors: Andrei Krupa and Nicoletta Christoforou Director: Andrei Krupa Art work: Maria Christoforou
Editing: Maria Christoforou
Time: 11:00 am Duration: 1 hour

The INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL has established itself as one of the most innovative and cutting-edge annual music events in the Eastern Mediterranean. Under the artistic direction of the internationally renowned Cypriot composer, Evis Sammoutis, the Festival is dedicated to the promotion of new music: The well-established masterpieces of the contemporary music literature of the 20th century as well as new works by the younger generation of composers. The Festival has so far presented hundreds of Cyprus premieres as well as a great number of world premieres by composers who have been especially commissioned by the Foundation to write new pieces for the occasion. Providing a platform for composers and performers to advance and develop new projects and explore new sound worlds in chamber music settings, the Festival aspires to acquaint the general audience of Cyprus with the music of our times as this is directly linked with many forms of visual and creative arts, and sciences, and it reflects the profundity of the modern-day man and human spirit.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S FESTIVAL:
Organised between 5 and 16 October 2016 at The Shoe Factory in Nicosia, the 8TH INTERNATIONAL PHAROS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL will feature four unique concerts, as well as a number of other interesting events such as documentary screenings, lectures and educational workshops.
This year’s Festival draws attention to contemporary masterpieces in which human voice takes the lead. Over a decade since the Pharos Arts Foundation presented the Cyprus premiere of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the London Sinfonietta, this iconic work, which has changed the history of vocal music forever and which has never been performed in Cyprus ever since, will be heard again: this time by the legendary vocalist Marianne Pousseur who will join forces with the exceptional ensemble Het Collectief under the direction of German conductor Robin Engelen.
The Festival will also present the Cyprus premiere of Kurtág’s monumental 70-minute masterpiece for voice and violin, written in 1987, Kafka Fragments, which is based on Kafka’s texts taken from his notebooks, diaries, and letters. The work will be performed by the internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg and violinist Aisha Orazbayeva.
Another key work in this year’s Festival, reflecting a more ground-breaking approach to vocal writing is Beat Furrer’s Lotófagos, for soprano and double-bass, which was written in 2006 and was premiered by the very same artist who will give its Cyprus premiere as part of the Festival – the exciting double-bassist Uli Fussenegger of Klangforum Wien who will join forces with the sensational French soprano Hélène Fauchère.
Also focused on the linkage between old and new music so that the listener can be familiarized with the historical cohesion of music evolution, comprehend the various procedures and thoroughly enjoy the end result, the Festival will conclude with a recital by pianist Joseph Houston, one of the most sought-after rising stars on the international contemporary music scene, in an all embracing programme, ranging from Scarlatti and Liszt, all the way through to Messiaen, Ives and Xenakis, and the Cyprus premieres of works by Thomas Simaku and Christian Mason.

Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

Exhibition: Absolute Zero by Adam Ball Cyprus Cyprus
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings.
The Pharos Arts Foundation is pleased to present Absolute Zero, a solo show of work from British artist Adam Ball. The exhibition includes drawings, signature paper and coloured fabric cut-outs and new raw pigment paintings. This recent body of work by Adam Ball has been evolving since first being exhibited at the Goss-Michael Foundation, US in 2014, and the Bait Al Zubair Museum, Oman in 2015. In Cyprus, the exhibition will be on show from 28 September until 22 October 2016 at The Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, before touring to the UK to be exhibited at Eton College, Windsor.Adam Ball's work is rooted in the profound research and observation of the miniscule details of his surroundings. He combines his meticulously rendered landscapes with patterns that he derives from nature, science and geology. The results are naturally formed abstractions in which colour and shape play an equally important role in an illusion of space and surfaces. His white on white cut-outs emphasize the fragility of the medium and, at the same time, play with the illusions of the light and shadow they cast.
The artist is currently working on his first permanent public installation for a new hospital in the UK. As part of this process he has collaborated with various surgeons and scientists to generate the source material for both this project and his work in general. Much of this research is evident in the works of the exhibition Absolute Zero.
"It will be a pleasure to visit Nicosia in September to exhibit a new body of work. While I have visited Nicosia several times over the last 15 years, this will be the first time my work has been exhibited here. On display will be a selection of recent work including drawings, paper and fabric cutouts, and raw pigment colour paintings such as the large-scale title piece Absolute Zero.”
Exhibition Opening: Wednesday 28 September 2016 / 7:30pm
Duration: 28 September – 22 October 2016
Exhibition Times: 10am-1pm Monday – Friday. And by appointment.

In this dramatic courtroom thriller, LT Daniel Kaffee, a Navy lawyer who has never seen the inside of the courtroom, defends two stubborn Marines who have been accused of murdering a colleague. Kaffee is known as being lazy and had arranged for a plea bargain. Downey's Aunt Ginny appoints Cmdr. Galloway to represent him. Also on the legal staff is LTJG Sam Weinberg.

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.

For his Piano concerto no. 1, Cypriot composer and pianist Christodoulos Georgiades notes that it “flows from the heart…not the brain”, so it’s with anticipation that we’re looking forward to the premiere of his second one. The phrase “from the heart” however, could also apply to Bruckner’s Three Pieces for Orchestra which start the programme: three charming, melodious little movements, with their main interest being that the composer for the first time touches upon that field which he was to be his life's work: pure and absolute orchestral music. As for Schubert’s Symphony no. 2 which brings the programme to a close, this was composed between 1814 and 1815, with the opening movement’s initial theme based on Beethoven’s overture to The Creatures of Prometheus and the second movement being Schubert's only set of symphonic variations.A.

Sonata for piano and cello No. 1 in F major, op. 5, 1
12 Variations on “see the conqu’ring here comes” from Handel's Judus Maccabeus, WoO 45
Sonata for piano and cello No. 2 in G minor, op. 5, 2
Part II
12 Variations on “Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen” from W. A. Mozart’s The Magic Flute, op. 66
Sonata for piano and cello No. 3 in A major, op. 69
Sonata for piano and cello No. 4 in C major, op. 102, 1
Sonata for piano and cello No. 5 in D major, op. 102, 2
The composition of sonatas for piano and cello was unthinkable before Beethoven; up until then, the cello would mainly provide the bass line. Moreover, this particular combination posed various difficulties as the piano would often outweigh the low notes of the cello and balance between the two instruments is always precarious. Beethoven was the first composer to tackle these challenges (his example was not followed until 1824). The works for piano and cello (three sets variations and five sonatas) are representative of the three periods of Beethoven’s artistic creation: the 'classical' (WoO 45, 46, opp. 5, 66), the 'heroic' (op. 69) and the 'late' (op. 102). Inspired by the unmatched capabilities of various renowned cellists and his own abilities as a virtuoso pianist, the sonatas not only represented an example par excellence for the subsequent generation of composers, but at the same time, they pose tremendous challenges for cellists and pianists alike.

Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art Cyprus Cyprus

The Municipality of Athienou, and the Kallinikeio Municipal Museum of Athienou, are currently holding an exhibition “Seven Stories. Lace and Modern Art” until June 2017, which celebrates Athienou’s unique lace crafts and their status as ‘intangible heritage’.Described as “seven works of modern art listen to seven testimonials on Venis and Athienou needle lace”, the exhibition revolves around oral testimonies of the history of lace making in the large village community, which have then been interpreted into modern art by various participating artists.
The lace techniques of ‘Venis’ lace (‘Pittotes’) and Athienou lace (‘Oloplouma’) differ from Lefkara lace linens (‘Lefkaritika’) in their designs, whilst Oloplouma are made entirely out of lace without linen cloth. The lace is included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Cyprus Register, which confirms its traditional significance.
The purpose of the exhibition is to fill the gap in the written account of this tradition; to revitalise the memories of the village during this era, and to introduce the younger generation to this significant piece of the village’s history, which is not widely known.
The artists are: Anastasia Lambaski Onisiforou, Irini Klokkari, Elena Tsigaridou and Sandy Antoniou, Natalie Pehlivani, Christiana Pougerasi, Chrysostomos Iosifides and Chrysostomos Kitas.
Their artistic disciplines vary from jewellery design, fashion and ceramics, to painting, interior and graphic design.
The exhibition is open: Monday – Friday, 8am – 3pm (except public holidays), and with prior notice on weekends.
